    Question on parlay strategy

    I know a lot of you hate the idea of parlays but I can't quite figure out the best way to go about this.


    I love LSU -3 for the week and I also love the under 49 for it. For simplicity lets say I have 10 units to wager on this. Would the best betting strategy be:


    Option A-- Wager 3.33 units on LSU -3, 3.33 units on the under, and 3.33 units on the parlay

    Option B-- Wager 7 units on LSU -3, and 3 units on the parlay

    Option C-- Wager 5 units on LSU -3, and 5 units on the parlay


    trying to figure this out.. I think option B makes the most sense because in a split I am still + units. Anyone have any input?

    1 unit on LSU -3
    1 unit on under 49.

    There is a very slight negative correlation with those two plays. If I were in your situation, I would just bet each of them separately.

    Kelly Calculator does this doesn't it?

    Not the correlation, but the parlay sizing.

    Optimal stakes are 0.000000% of BR on side, 0.000000% on total.
